Incoming Anti-Meta™ Mod!
sorry for being kinda late orzMan I can't get enough of this song, this is so awesome! Also while searching for metadata I got stuck for almost an hour, reading about undertale, maaaaan '_>'
But anyway, let's start:
MetadataArtist: Correct
Title: Your Best Nightmare I've talked about this with Starry and others because all I was getting from sources available was this and no mentions of Finale, even though part of the song sounds like it. If you can somehow confirm that it has finale you can leave it, but otherwise do change it

so good map
I would like to see a bolder OD setting, but since this is really heavily oriented around long LNs I'm not that sure. 8,5 should be okay tho.
One thing I do have to mention is that the map is rather stale in it's compostion. It's not a problem technically, but I do feel like you could map first section diffrently, emphasize other instruments, specifically not use long LNs to get some difficulty curve and more variety. That's my personal nitpick tho.
Another nitpick - you could totally map intro with single LNs and slowjam, maaan that would be so climatic
[Determined]
Keys: |1-5|
00:24:525 (24525|4,24683|4,24841|4,24999|4,25157|4,25315|4) - That anchor looks quite gross tbh. It's regular but at the same time I think you could find a better alternative
00:27:525 (27525|1,27683|1,27841|1,27999|1,28157|1,28315|1,28473|1,28631|1,28789|1) - This is also one of the reasons I suggested change in first section, there's not much room to do heavy chords and LNs, so for beggining you should do one imo
00:50:262 (50262|2,50262|0,50341|3,50341|1,50420|2,50420|0,50499|3,50499|1) - Change to a 12 34 jumptrill, easier to hit and makes burst more readable
01:27:368 - Good place for a kiai
01:48:999 (108999|2,109157|2,109315|2,109473|2,109631|2,109789|2,109947|2,110104|2) - Oh my lord, the anchor is unreal
To be honest, the map is so solid that the only issue I find in most of the map are giant-ass anchors everywhere. I'll focus on other things from now on.
01:52:552 (112552|3,112591|2,112631|3) - That is one hell of a nasty switch, try
this maybe?
02:13:078 - Missed a sound there
02:14:341 - ^
02:15:604 - ^
02:16:868 - ^
02:17:894 - This section is giving me some headaches because short LNs+ absurdly long anchors with occasional 1/4s are very awkward to play. Would recommend maybe not mapping 1/4's there and go for harder chords (or not even harder chords because this section is quite weak)
02:55:789 - That section is a good reason why you should map less 1/4s in the suggestion above. Variety.
03:00:841 - Now you could turn this section into a more LN'y one with abandoning most of 1/4s to map the other tune with LNs, single or double
03:55:947 - I would say to make it same as 00:50:262 suggestion I made and then reverse the whole section
04:00:210 - Okay, so speed changes are not god, especially the way it "smooths out". Suggesting this:
04:00:210 - 0,5x
04:02:736 - 0,55x
04:05:262 - 0,6x
04:07:789 - 0,65x
04:09:683 - 0,7x
04:12:841 - 0,75x
04:15:368 - 0,8x
04:17:894 - 0,85x
04:19:789 - 0,9x
That way you don't really notice the speed changes, it flows naturally and you don't have a seizure trying to read double LN part ahead while still retaining some of the slowjam effect.
04:40:631 - 04:50:420 - This section needs a remap. I could understand first few notes, but the further it goes, the more I think that it's a WIP section that someone forgot to layer and threw down some notes as a backbone for future layering.
05:02:973 (302973|2,303012|1,303052|2) - I really wish that you didn't have those trills (side effect of having too little columns)
05:21:052 (321052|2,321131|1,321210|0,321289|1,321368|0) - Now, this is my biggest complain. Let's be honest, those super short LN bursts + other long LNs that connect those + big chords in a claustrophobia enviroment is a combination that nukes every last ounce of sanity out of your brain and makes you rol over the floor in agony screaming "I CAN'T READ THIS FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK". Change those short LNs to normal notes, it is NOT readable. Other way around it would be layering less around those LNs to make it actually doable.
05:29:894 - And this is just nope.
Note for the ending, Please do fade out patterning alongside mp3's fade and not just put the same density still and end it abruptly
Honestly, You did a good job on that map, but I can't help but feel that it would be a perfect map for a higher keymode. 5K for this type of patterning may be too restrictive which causes those 1h anchors to happen. That being said, I wish you best of luck. Do get this ranked, please.
